I just watched this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4uM1sZ7LJY So I presume it will be totally fine. It that case, expect a purchase very soon
Having just purchased the theme, I’ve noticed that the 3/4 Column and 1/2 Column of the layout does not work as one would expect it to in the ‘iPad’ screen size. The 1/2 Column sits below the 3/4 Column, not beside it (like in the ‘desktop’ screen size), as one would expect. Could you help with fixing this? Cheers.
Hi there, Hop on the forum and post this and we’ll take a look!

Appreciate the kind words!
Mike
Won’t install through current WordPress (version 3.5) built-in upload/installer.
Installing Theme from uploaded file: themeforest-1590945-slate-responsive-wordpress-theme.zip
Hi, You’re uploading the entire zip file you downloaded from ThemeForest. You need to unzip the file you downloaded and only upload the Slate-UploadToWP.zip file.
Mike
Is the Okay Twitter widget disabled? There doesn’t seem to be any information displaying on my site’s twitter widget…
Nope, it’s not disabled. Seems to be working on my end.
Mike
Hi Mike, Happy New Year , first of all.
- Question: is it possible and not to complicated to change the size of the slider image? I would like it to be bigger.
Ray
Hi Ray, Depends on how good you are with CSS. Shouldn’t be too complicated if you know a little code!
Mike
Oh, it’s a css matter. That is good. Thanks, Ray
Pre-Purchase question:
Is it possible to have a post that is both in the portfolio and blog categories?
No, not currently. The post will take on either the blog or portfolio template.
Mike
Thanks Mike. One last question, is it possible to remove sections on the main page (like “services”) by leaving them blank, or do i need to alter the css?
Hi, I don’t need the blog section of Slate for my website. Is there a way I can disable it/code that removes it?
Thanks! Sam
PS. I’m really happy with the theme, you guys did great!
Hi Sam, You can simply delete your Blog page from the Pages section and it will disappear from the menu as well.
Mike
Is there a fix to make all images retina-ready across the board? This theme seems not to do so, unless I’m missing something. If not, do you offer an update which is optimised for retina, similar to your recent themes? Many thanks for your great work, Mike.
Hi, No immediate plans for Retina in the pipeline. There will be an update eventually, but nothing on the calendar yet!
Mike
Hi!
I am interested on buying this wp theme but it seems that demo is not working today. It is on sale yet?
Gemma.
Hi, sorry about that! I was doing some server maintenance this AM. Everything is up now!
Mike
Hey Mike,
There are multiple themes that don’t have the demos properly working. This being one of them. Great work! Would love to demo/buy some of your themes!
Hi, sorry about that! I was doing some server maintenance this AM. Everything is up now!
Mike
Thanks, Mike. Really appreciate it.
Hai,
Can you tell me how the portfolio page load all posts! http://bureauomtrent.nl/projectenThe first post is not loaded, that you can see on the homepage. It probably has to do with the full portfolio picture at the top, I removed it.
Like to hear it
Hi Zneeze, Unfortunately we don’t support coustomizations. There is some code that is dependent on the image you removed. So you’ll have to sort that out yourself if you want to keep that customization.
Mike
On my website davidhoos.com, all the blog posts excerpts & thumbnails vary in height and look sloppy as a result. The heights are all aligned on the demo. Is there a way to fix this so my posts are uniform?
Hi David, Hop on the forum and we’ll take a look! http://okaythemes.com/support

Hi, Im installing and customizing your theme (by the way, quite nice and easy to work with!).
Im trying to make a custom home page, not using your homepage template.
The things is that I would like to re-use the slider at home and the portfolio extract. The rest of the page will be colums made by the common editor at wordpress.
Im copy-pasting some code from your home.php template into a customhome.php template. Slider section and portfolio section. Two things are not working: - the sliders shows all the slides in the page. Is not working the same way as in your template, but it currently is the same code - all the rest of the content I insert from the common wordpress editor is not appearing.
Here is the link: http://www.pixelanddata.es/pruebas/prueba/I you want the php code, I can also send you.
Its odd, maybe there’s a line im missing when copy-pasting, or the functions just work with your home.php template, but I cant find the answer.
Could I have a hint? Thanks a lot.
Hi there, Unfortunately we can’t help with customizations, just basic issues and bugs within the theme!
Mike
I’m neglecting help with your customizations, yes. We provide free support to theme buyers, which includes helping them get the theme up and running and support for any bugs that pop up along the way.
If I help you with this customization, then other buyers will want customizations. Also, when you decide you no longer want that customization, or if it starts breaking your theme, you’ll come back to us for help fixing it. It opens the door to endless customizations. It also creates double the work for us, and we aren’t compensated for it with a $40 theme sale.
Good luck with your customizations. If it’s as easy as you say it is, it shouldn’t be a hassle to put together!
Mike
Ok, lets reconduct the question, Im trying something different.
I dont want to customize anything, just add more data in the homepage at the bottom part, after the testimonials. Using the common wordpress text editor.
I add content, text, shortcodes, photos… but nothing appears at the bottom of the page. Why is that? Thanks in advance.
Hello? Dis you see my last questions? I want to add extra data from the wordpress editor to the home and portfolio templates, but when I write something it never appears when i publish. Do you know why this is happening? Thanks again.
Hello?? ANYONE THERE
Hi there, The homepage template doesn’t actually output a
<?php the_content(); ?>tag because it brings in elements from different places. You could add a content tag within the loop and it would output your page content.Mike
I only want to add what I write in the wordpress editor, that easy. Thanks again!
Hi, You’ll have to hop on the forum if you want us to take a look. This is still technically a customization, as it’s changing the theme from how it’s meant to work, but we may be able to take a look if you hop on the forum.
Mike
Hi,
in the shortcode including the accordion?
There is no accordion shortcode.
Mike
does this theme come with an admin area for easy customization ? (change fonts etc.)
Slate has some customization options but not many. You can’t change fonts, but you can set link color, background and logo.
Mike
Hi Mike,
Is there a way to disable the portfolio section on the homepage? I don’t need it for my site. Thank you!
Hi there, You’d have to go into home.php and strip it out. Looks like it would be lines 68-117.
Mike
Hey Mike. We have bought the theme from your, but not with my account so i´m not listed as purchased. Only for your information.
Now my question. We don´t want the slide of the portfolios on the home page and in the portfolio section. For the home page we need only 6 parts and for the portfolio page also 6. If there come more, we would set the new number into the code. But how could we deactivate the slide function for this element?
Hi there, Unfortunately we don’t help with customizations, but I think we’ve answered this one in the past. You might want to hop on the support forum and do a quick search in the Slate discussions. You should find an answer in there!
Mike
Hey mike, thanks for your answer. We just updated the theme to the newest version and that fixed our problem. But sadly there is now a new problem. But i added this request into the support forum so i hope that you guy´s can help me with this little last problem.
Yep, we’ll check it out!
Do you know why the place toAdd a Name of subtitle and a Value don’t appear on my wordpress? I have re-installed the theme and the wordpress two times and the same problem appear.
Hi, have you made sure that your Custom Fields are turned on? Click Screen Options on the upper right hand side of the screen and make sure Custom Fields are checked. http://cl.ly/MaqM
Mike
Hi, I am considering purchasing this theme but would like to know before buying it if I can add a video/showreel to the homepage instead of the slider images?
Thanks in advance, Suzanne
Hi Suzanne, You’d have to modify the theme a bit to make that happen unfortunately. I’ve seen users do it, but we don’t have a feature in place to do it by default.
Mike
